Higher-education bills seek limits on DEI activities, private-campus DEI offices
Summary
House File 2487, introduced by the Committee on Higher Education, would restrict certain diversity, equity and inclusion activities and prohibit private institutions receiving Iowa tuition grants from establishing DEI offices; the bill was read for first consideration and referred for committee action.
The Clerk read House File 2487 from the Committee on Higher Education, described as "a bill for an act concerning restrictions on certain activities related to diversity, equity, and inclusion, and critical race theory by state entities and public institutions of higher education." The reading also included a variant noting prohibitions on private institutions that participate in the Iowa tuition grant program from establishing diversity, equity and inclusion offices.
The measure was introduced on the House floor as a first reading for referral to committee; the Clerk placed the bill on the counter for committee assignment. The transcript does not record floor debate or a vote on the measure during this session. Sponsors and related files (multiple readings of a bill numbered 2487 appear in the record) were noted during the Clerk's reading.
